Potential for Disease Spread in White-Tailed Deer in Northern Idaho
No full textDispersals are permanent movements of an individual across a landscape for reasons such as social cues, habitat condition and food availability. They are important in regulating density of populations, connecting herds through gene flow, and decreasing inbreeding. Another implication with dispersals is long distance disease transmission. Though dispersals in white-tailed deer have been studied on many occasions in numerous ecosystems and populations, they have not been researched in an area with the diversity of predators, topography, or vegetation of northern Idaho. In this study I will look at the potential for disease spread in white-tailed deer in north Idaho by analyzing dispersal movements tracked by GPS collar data. Between 2019 and 2022 approximately 500 deer were clover trapped across 3 study areas in north and central Idaho. Each individual was fitted with a GPS collar and at least 4 points a day were taken until the collar was removed or the individual died. I will be using this collar data to estimate home ranges using 95% Kernal Density Estimation and measuring dispersals with Euclidean distance. With this data I anticipate that male juveniles will disperse in the highest proportion just prior to parturition, followed by females of the same age cohort. Dispersals and large movements of white-tailed deer are currently a critical topic of concern to wildlife managers. Chronic Wasting Disease is spreading rapidly in the western United States and most recently into North Idaho. Once CWD is in a population and area, it is difficult to eradicate due to its long infectious period and potential to remain on a landscape and transmit through fomites. For this reason, it is crucial to understand how the disease may spread across north Idaho prior to its occurrence to inform best management practices
Sexual assault: Long-term implications for women's health and health care experience.
No full textPrior research has indicated that sexually victimized women have more health symptoms, lower health perceptions, and greater health care utilization than non-victimized women. However, there has been little exploration of the variation in health outcomes reported by rape survivors. This study used an extensive questionnaire to assess explanatory factors which might protect some women and put others at risk for negative health outcomes following sexual assault. Participants were 87 women of diverse backgrounds who sought a forensic medical examination after sexual assault at one of two midwestern hospitals. All were re-contacted at least one year after the rape kit exam. Results indicated that a woman's health outcomes after rape were significantly related to her current levels of depression, anxiety, and overall traumatization, her psychological health and victimization experiences prior to the sexual assault, the severity of her rape, the extent of her social support, her risk for somatization, her tendency to talk about her victimization experiences, her reception since the rape of medical treatment for psychiatric problems, and her alcohol use. A survivor's health outcomes were not significantly related to her reception since the rape of mental health care, her attitude toward mental health care, her forensic medical examination experience, or her disclosure of a sexual victimization history to health care providers. There was no relationship between pre-existing health problems or assault-related injuries and rape survivors' health outcomes. Participants' responses to questions about their experience of the forensic medical examination, gynecological care, and disclosure of a sexual victimization history to health care professionals revealed substantial variation in these health care experiences. They also suggested clear links between survivors' forensic medical examination and gynecological care experiences, and between these health care experiences and women's long-term health outcomes. The study findings demonstrated the importance of asking about women's psychological functioning and prior victimization experiences when assessing their health. They also suggested that how medical providers attend to the psychological and emotional needs of survivors can have significant long-term implications for women's health and health care experience. The implications of these findings for future research and medical practice with rape survivors are discussed.PhDClinical psychologyHealth and Environmental SciencesObstetricsPsychologyPublic healthSocial SciencesWomen's studiesUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.

Training to reduce behavioral health disparities
No full text Family physicians are a critical part of the healthcare system in rural areas, but little is known about the training they need to more effectively address behavioral health disparities. Practicing family physicians in Montana were surveyed about the behavioral health needs of their patients, the behavioral resources at their disposal, their prioritization of a number of behavioral skills and interventions in the training of family physicians, factors that limit their own use of behavioral skills, and the extent of their behavioral science training. Respondents across the state reported high rates of mental/emotional health issues and high need for health behavior change in their patients. Surprisingly, although rural family physicians reported access to significantly fewer behavioral health resources, they did not rate any of the behavioral skills as higher training priorities than their urban counterparts and they were more likely to identify limitations (lack of patient interest, lack of confidence or competence, and inadequate knowledge or training) on their own use of such skills in practice. Family physicians, both rural and urban, whose residency programs had a higher emphasis on behavioral science felt better prepared to use behavioral skills in practice. Consequently, rural training programs are encouraged to emphasize behavioral science training for their family medicine residents, particularly training that focuses on mental health stigma reduction, emphasizes time savings and practicality, covers more severe psychiatric presentations, promotes cultural sensitivity to rural values of autonomy and self-sufficiency, and teaches skills to advocate for individual and community health with regard to behavioral health disparities. </jats:p

Piloting a Psychotherapy Group for Transgender Clients: Description and Clinical Considerations for Practitioners
No full textThe likelihood that a psychologist will work with a transgender client is greater today than ever before; however, many psychologists report being unfamiliar with the challenges faced by this population. Training programs provide minimal exposure to transgender issues by way of coursework and practicum experiences, and many barriers prevent transgender persons from accessing quality mental health care. The provision of group psychotherapy services in psychology training clinics may help reduce barriers to treatment, but there is little literature to guide professionals interested in facilitating such a group. In response, this article provides psychologists with a description of an experiential/process psychotherapy group for transgender clients that was offered at a university training clinic. Logistical aspects of forming the group are reviewed. Prominent themes that emerged over the course of three 12-session groups are discussed. Considerations for other professionals and training clinics interested in offering similar groups are also provided
The Availability of Sexual and Gender Minority (SGM) Specific Substance Use Services
No full textBackground: In 2007, Cochran, Peavy, and Robohm conducted a study of treatment programs that indicated that they provided specialized services for gay and lesbian clients; however, phone calls to these agencies revealed that over 90% of these agencies actually did not provide services that were discernibly different from the agencies’ general services. Objectives: Given the progress and development since 2007 regarding awareness of SGM (sexual and gender minority) rights and an increased understanding of the impact of health disparities on SGM individuals, the current study aimed to gain a renewed understanding of the state of SGM-specific substance treatment using a similar methodology. Results: agencies reporting that they provide SGMTitle specific services since 2007, fewer than 1 in 5 agencies who indicated offering SGM-specific treatment on the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSAT S) survey actually provided such services (17.4%) in 2021. Conclusions/Importance: The current study reinforces the already observed need for specialized substance treatment services for the SGM population. Despite having hundreds more SGM-specific substance treatment services in existence today compared to 2007, our findings point to a strong need to address the discrepancies between self-reported and existing availabilities of SGM-specific services in substance treatment. Actions that can potentially close this gap might be two-fold: standardizing the definition of and criteria for SGM-specific services and increasing funding and resources that could expand the availability of such services, particularly in rural regions.</p
